How to Choose a Maid Service in San Antonio

Choosing the right maid service company can be an overwhelming task. By asking the right questions, you can sift out the “less than professional” companies pretty quickly. Below is a list 5 helpful questions to assist you in doing just that.

1. How long has the company been in business and who owns it.

Bad maid services do not last long. A locally owned service has roots in the city. A franchise tends to change owners frequently and are usually more expensive due to franchise costs. The White Glove Maid Service has been locally owned in San Antonio since 1982.

2. Check with the Better Business Bureau.

A company with unresolved complaints is a sign of trouble. The White Glove Maid Service in San Antonio maintains an A+ rating with the BBB.

3. Does the company hire maids as employees or contract labor?

Contract labor leaves you responsible for taxes. The White Glove Maid Service NEVER uses contract labor.

4. Does the company carry bonding and liability insurance?

Insurance is important, but your biggest protection is who the company hires in the first place. Some maid services are so desperate for workers they will hire anyone who walks in the door. The White Glove Maid are all bonded and insured.

5. How are the maids hired and trained?

A vigorous training and hiring program encourages quality and honesty.

Professional Tile Floor Cleaning

In the past ten years or so, tile floors have gained a large amount of popularity over traditional carpeted floors. Why the big shift? Tile floors are durable, long lasting, great for children, and fairly easy to maintain. The difference between a spilled glass of cranberry juice on the carpet verses the tile is enough said.

As always, no matter how great the product, there’s always a down side somewhere. When it comes to tile floors, it’s not that hard to find. The dirty black grout tells it all. Cleaning the grout in tile floors is one of the most high maintenance things about them. Here at The White Glove Maid Service, we offer a professional deep tile cleaning service that will cause your floors to shine like they used to.

We use the HOST tile cleaning system, which cleans deeper and more thoroughly than any hand scrubbing. The counter-rotating brushes of our tile cleaning machines easily scrub the grout and dislodge dirt and grease. HOST Cleaner contains a balanced blend of water, detergents, wetting agents and natural ingredients that dissolve and trap the dirt and grease. Host is Green Seal Certified! It is safe to use because it does not contain harsh chemicals like bleach or acid and does not emit any noxious fumes. It leaves no chemical residue behind to attract dirt and cause rapid resoiling of the grout. Grout is left clean and ready for immediate use; and it’s safe for kids and pets!
